Hurd was booted from HP in August 2010, following the accusations from Jodie Fisher, who said that he had tried repeatedly to "engage" her by asking her to his hotel room, kissing her on the lips and groping her. Fisher retained celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred, who sent the letter in June 2010, outlining the accusations.

Hurd's lawyers had fought to keep the letter under seal but a Delaware appeals court ruled this week that it should be public.
